Since the beginning of the year, I've been fighting a cold. During that time, I came up with an idea to set a word count per day and try to match or exceed that. I decided on 1500 words a day.
And halfway through the month.... I'm behind. Behind by about 7,600 words. I've written 16, 383, as of midnight, but I should have 24,000 words written. Out of the 16 days so far, I'm met or exceeded the goal on six days, and fallen short on the other days (Which is why I'm 7,617 words behind.)
The writing is spread out between a short story, a novella and a novel. It allows me to shift when I'm running out of steam on one, and to a third if I need to. It may not work for you, but it works for me.
The goal for the month is a total of 46,500 words -- half a novel. Let's see how close I can get to that total. Wish me luck!
